Bug #2320: forking locked memory generates panic
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2320
Author: Chris Turner
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal

Target version:
Reasoning about panic's generated by running gpg-agent as root led me to suspect
that forking a locked memory page generates a panic. The attached program verifies
this theory. Execution/Backtrace is as follows:
dfdev01# ./forklock
pre-lock: 0x28180070
panic: assertion "LWKT_TOKEN_HELD_ANY(vm_object_token(object))" failed in vm_page_insert at /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_page.c:915

My preliminary effort at debugging this seems to indicate that vm objects passed
into vmspace_fork are not properly locked, which results in the assertion failing -
however I am unfortunately not well versed enough in the VM subsystem to track this
down further without significant time and my guess is that someone who is well versed
can make short work of this bug.
Did not make core/kernel images available as is easily reproducable, can do so upon request.
Tested against:
v3.1.0.98.gb8b49-DEVELOPMENT i386 GENERIC
v3.1.0.98.gb8b49-DEVELOPMENT i386 VKERNEL
v3.1.0.258.g69b66-DEVELOPMENT i386 VKERNEL
and also appears to affect late-cycle 2.13-DEVELOPMENT based on my recollection of a
gpg-agent generated panic at that time, so any likely fix probably needs to be mfc'ed.
Cheers,
- Chris
